Express Sport brings you up to date with every new arrival in the Premier League during the January transfer window

Taylor, 27, has made 17 appearances for Swansea this season but the £5million arrival of Martin Olsson from Norwich has seen him drop down the pecking order at the Liberty Stadium.

Villa supposedly want Taylor to provide competition for left-back Jordan Amavi, while Barrow has been targeted as a possible replacement for Jordan Ayew, who could be sent in the other direction in order to secure the deal.

Villa manager Steve Bruce has already spent around £10m on transfers this month and has also been linked with a swoop for Middlesbrough’s Jordan Rhodes.

Meanwhile, reports have emerged that Chelsea have backed away from the possibility of signing Swansea striker Llorente.

Blues manager Antonio Conte was thought to be eyeing the 31-year-old as a viable addition to his squad.

But Conte’s insistence that Michy Batshuayi will not go out on loan for the second half of the season means a deal for Llorente is unlikely.
